Reclamation success in post-mining landscapes in the Czech Republic: A review of pedological and biological studies

Original language description

This paper reviews the development of conceptions and reclamation approaches in post-mining landscapes, particularly on disturbed or devastated areas after open-cast brown coal mining in northwest Bohemia, Czech Republic. Site attributes such as soil quality and the structure of plant and faunal biodiversity achieved with technical and biological reclamation practices are compared with the results of spontaneous succession. Whereas many earlier studies have highlighted the importance of certain specificreclamation practices, current studies based on biological and ecological knowledge conclude that habitat development under spontaneous succession is a beneficial phenomenon for future aesthetic and ecological functions of post-mining landscapes. Appropriately performed reclamation of spoil heaps, or the absence of technical reclamation, may have a great potential to enable early colonization of organisms from the surrounding landscapes and to support an increase in biodiversity.
